View of Malacca.

Cf. National Archives, The Hague, inv. nr. VELH 619.67.

Corresponds wholly with the illustration contained in Valentijn V, p. 308.

The illustration was made shortly after the conquest by the VOC in 1641 and copied between 1665 and 1668, probably in Johannes Vingboons' studio.

The plate is taken from the Blaeu-Van der Hem Atlas.

Top centre: Malacca.
